<p>The Government has set out an ambitious package of long-term reform to make the
housing market work. We are taking end-to-end action across the housing system with
measures to: release more land for homes where people want to live, build the homes
we need faster, get more people building homes, and support people who need help now.
We have committed more than £44 billion of financial support over five years to 2022/2023
to boost the delivery of housing and unblock barriers to more housebuilding.</p><p>We
are also committed to ensuring that new homes are of good quality. In 2018, we announced
a dedicated ombudsman for buyers of new homes and we intend to introduce legislation
to require developers of new build homes to belong to a New Homes Ombudsman. The revised
National Planning Policy Framework places a strong emphasis on design and makes clear
that developments should be visually attractive and add to the overall quality of
the area.</p><p>Our interventions are making a difference. Last year 222,190 homes
were delivered, the highest in all but one of the last thirty years. This year numbers
are expected to rise again, representing the 7<sup>th</sup> consecutive year of growth.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will guarantee the long-term
funding of the National Wildlife Crime Unit; and if she will make an assessment of
the potential merits of increasing that unit's funding to enable its expansion to
investigate cyber-enabled wildlife crime.

<p>The Home Office will be providing specific funding of £136,000 to support the work
of the National Wildlife Crime Unit in 2020/21. This will be in addition to specific
funding for the Unit provided by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
and the funding central Government will be providing police forces in England and
Wales to tackle all types of crime, including wildlife crime.</p><p> </p><p>Decisions
about Home Office funding for the National Wildlife Crime Unit beyond March 2021 will
be taken as part of the forthcoming Spending Review.</p>
